Tracen couldn’t read her. She had no clue how to hold a fishing pole, but that didn’t seem to be what was worrying her. She’d gone quiet for some other reason. Was she bored already?

“Did you know that Idaho is known for its fishing?” he asked to keep her engaged.

Emily’s gaze flicked to his. “Really?”

“Yeah.” Well, that was the end of that conversation. He looked down into the water, but the sun’s reflection kept him from seeing anything underneath its surface. A sneeze raked through him before he was able to slide his sunglasses back down onto his nose.

“Bless you.”

“Thanks.” Tracen watched Emily from behind his shades. Maybe they could just enjoy the silence together. What was it called? A comfortable silence. But if it was supposed to be comfortable, then why was Tracen stressing over it? If he wanted to know what she was thinking, he should just ask. “What are you thinking?”

Emily spun the handle on her reel lazily. If she kept it up, he’d have to cast for her again soon. Or maybe he could teach her how to do it, though she didn’t seem to be overly excited about their outing. He’d joked about her getting bored, but the fear was very real. The parade earlier was about as wild as Sun Valley ever got. Could she get used to such a tiny town after living in Tinseltown?

The apples of Emily’s cheeks hinted at the smile she hid inside. Whatever she was thinking, it must be good. He’d worry about her leaving Sun Valley later. Right now he’d just enjoy the time he had with her.

“My Bible study on water—this morning I read about how Jesus helped Peter catch a lot of fish. I was just thinking I could use a little help as well.”

Tracen loved that story. He should have asked sooner, instead of working himself up over nothing. “You know what’s interesting about that miracle?”

Emily’s crystal blue eyes lit up like a trivia question on a game show. She was as excited to discuss the Bible with him as contestants were to get their name called for The Price Is Right. “What?”

Well, he was just as eager to answer her. “The water.” Tracen motioned toward the creek below them. “The water was so clear that the fish could see the net and swim away if anybody tried to fish during the day. That’s why they’d been fishing at night.”

Emily leaned against the railing on the bridge. “I didn’t know that.”

Tracen nodded thoughtfully. “They’d been fishing all night—doing it their own way—with no results. Then Jesus tells them to try something different, and against all odds, it works.”

Emily’s eyes remained on him. “That lesson can apply to all of us somehow. You know, like we try and try and try to do something the way we think it should be done, but if we’d just listen to Jesus and do things His way, He would work miracles in our lives.”

Tracen let her analogy sink in. She’d gotten more out of the story than he had.
